ROTHESAY, N.B. — Police say an elderly couple was found dead on Valentine’s Day in the Saint John, N.B., suburb of Rothesay.

The 78-year-old woman was a victim of homicide, while police are still investigating the death of her 91-year-old husband.

“It goes without saying we’re investigating the cause of the homicides, whatever that might be. All scenarios are being looked into,” Det.-Sgt Craig MacDougall of Kennebecasis Regional Police said Friday.

The bodies were found after someone became concerned about the couple and went to check on them Thursday evening at their bungalow on Gondola Point Road, he said.

A 911 call was made, and police responded to find “suspicious circumstances” in the home.

MacDougall would not speculate on what may have happened or when the couple died but reassured members of the public they were not in danger.

“We haven’t made any final determinations but we don’t believe there are any suspects out there â¦ The public is not at risk,” he said.
